TRIBUTES

I used to get on the turps with Graham on Waiheke Island, he used to do
a few gigs at VinoVino's bar in Iberia, of course grew up with
Hello Sailor being an Aucklander
in the pub scene, Gluepot, Kiwi Tavern, Globe and all the others.
I'm lucky I came out the other side of that era, RIP Graham. -

I didn't know Graham well but shared some space at an event and
witnessed a man who commanded great presence with deep conviction in
performance, no wonder he was so highly regarded - RIP Graham - see you
there. - Kevin Borich

I last saw the Hello Sailor in Feb 1980 and I thought what a great band,
plus having read about Graham during the life of
Hello Sailor he was
lucky to live as long as he did. Suffering from Hepatitis etc,
wouldn’t have helped either. Like Dragon, they never got to their
full potential in the world of rock music. Great harp, sax player
and very good writer, again, another muso leaves us. RIP -

I did not know Graham personally, (Hello Sailor! yes we all knew
them) but it is always sad to see another musician pass on, and so young
at 63, please extend my condolences to the family and friends of Graham
